Description
More than a third of the worldwide growth in drilling is expected to come from offshore, making the development of offshore pipelines
an extremely hot topic in the energy industry. Offshore Pipelines is the most up-to-date reference for engineers and developers challenged
with bringing oil and gas onshore.
Written primarily for engineers and management personnel working on offshore and deepwater oil and
gas pipelines, this book brings together the authors' years of experience on a variety of pipeline projects. It offers cost-effective
approaches for developing pipeline systems. By presenting principles, criteria, and data necessary to perform engineering analyses, the
authors set forth guidelines that can be employed to optimize pipeline development projects.
Audience
Pipeline Design Engineers, Pipeline Operation Engineers
